Malkovich registration - sign up here to play

[yithril]

I'm up for a malkovich game, seems like it'd be fun. I'm a tygem 4d, so I don't know what that translate to, but anyone around 3-4d would be welcome. Kyu players are welcome too if anyone wants to play handi.

[DIV]

Hey, all I'd like to try my hand at a Malkovich game. I play Go on facebook which is basically Malkovich without the discussion. So here I am, 13-12k KGS, I'd prefer to play even(at least no stones) or against handicap.

"What makes you think I won't be seeing what you're seeing...in court."


EDIT: Of course I would never turn down a match against any rank with any number of stones.

Hi DIV - I'd be interested in playing against you. I'm about the same strength - currently 12k on KGS, although I tend only to play 1 or 2 games there per week so it's a bit volatile, and it's possible that my "real" strength is a bit stronger or weaker than that. Like you, I prefer playing even games against someone of about my strength than to play handicap games, so this sounds good to me. I've been enjoying reading through the other Malkovitch games on this forum (I think it's a great idea), and think it would be fun, and hopefully instructive (if a bit scary ) to try to play one myself.

Reply here or send me a PM if you're interested

sounds good robinz, how do you feel about having open access to joseki? Also, howabout 6.5 komi and you decide what color you want to play? Japanese scoring style? all hide tags off limits? anything you feel like.

[robinz]

I'm fine on all of that - the one bit I'm not sure about is having open access to joseki. I only learnt to play about 4 months ago, and know hardly any joseki yet - on the face of it, that sounds like it would help me if I was allowed to look them up, but I'd be worried I'd end up just playing through some sequence I find given online when I don't have a clue why I'm making those moves...

...but, hopefully I'd be able to resist that temptation, especially if I'm having to explain my thoughts to any kibitzers So I think I'd be OK with that.

As for giving me choice of colours - that's very generous, but also makes me scratch my head, as I've never had free choice of colour before. I think I'm going to choose white, for two reasons - firstly, I'm unconvinced there's much point in komi below at least high-dan level, and certainly don't think there's much need at DDK level, so that means that playing with komi should give white a (very) slight advantage. And secondly, as I've never done one of these before, I'd rather if you made the first post

I'll try to make at least 1 move a day, possibly more - but it looks like we're in different enough time zones (I'm in the UK, and I'm guessing you're in the US) to make it unlikely we'll be able to make more than a couple of moves a day each (which I'm fine with).

[DIV]

I figure because I chose komi, you choose whether you'd like the benefit of first play or the number of points I chose for komi. I'll make it presently. And I'm fine with no open joseki, I think that will be more interesting, I know a few, but without is fine.

Ok, all this is Malkovich #76-robinz v. DIV

[Hazushi]

I am up for another game.
Once again I will go up to 2 Handi in either direction.
This time I am 7k ( According to Kgs )
Please Message me and we can settle any details.

[antone]

I'd like to play an open Malkovich, I'm around 7k

[Marcus]

I think I can handle running another Malkovich at the same time as my one with Mr. Z ... I'm willing to play anyone, PM me if you're interested.

[Chew Terr]

I think I can handle running another Malkovich at the same time as my one with Mr. Z ... I'm willing to play anyone, PM me if you're interested.

Because we're both overachievers, Marcus and I agreed to play an open Malkovich, concurrent with our other activities.

Next is #80

[Redundant]

Since I resigned my game with Zwergesel, I'm up for a new game with anyone +-2 stones. Expect a really quick fuseki, then really slow middle game with an early resignation! PM if you're interested.

Also willing to do another 9x9 Malkovich. My one with loons turned zombie.

[Menezes]

I'd like to play one game too. I'm 8k.

[antone]

I and Hazushi have agreed to play an open Malkovich.

Next one is #81
